I will start by saying I don’t think all these teams issues are the fault of a coach.
But I’m at the point now where I’m pretty sure Ward is not a top end NHL head coach.
They went on a run, and he used some really fun tactics to turn the mood around the team and go on a run but since then I haven’t really don’t think he’s been great.
The constant line juggling for the forwards has hurt more than it’s helped lately. Our defensive structure and 200ft team game has regressed under him IMO. And I feel like the team has started to fall back into the mental fragility they showed under GG.
Now I do think part of this issue is the core players still struggling and the roster composition, but I don’t think he’s the long term answer at head coach either
